I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours. But if work is interpreted to be a definite performance in a specified time according to a rigid rule, then I may be the worst of idlers.

This work somehow awakened my dormant powers of will and I began to practice self-control. At first my resolutions faded like snow in April, but in a little while I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I never knew before -- that of doing as I willed.

But instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.

“I love the PhilosophersNotes, but it's not because I don't have time to read. I subscribe to them because they're fantastic reminders of books that have had a profound impact on my life. Instead of having to reread them in their entirety, though, I can skim one of these inimitable reviews and get not just the heart of its message, but a boost of inspiration and the feeling that I'm not the only one who sees the critical importance of this sort of wisdom in the world.”  ~ Siona van Dijk, Director, Gaia Community

“Brian: First a massive thank you for setting up Zaadz, now Gaia... I'm writing also to thank you for the recent Philospher's Notes. I absolutely love the recent ones by Robin Sharma and now Nietzsche about pushing yourself, and your practical stuff about getting up before the sun, and the other stuff about “it's great to find your dream, your gift to the world, but are you willing to work hard to actually make it happen!?” This is where I am at in my personal life. Very clear on what I'm doing and why, but not really very good at, or not willing to, push myself out of my comfort zone in order to make it happen now. So thank you for these very loving kicks up the butt that I have been receiving in my Inbox every morning! You are giving a great gift to the world. You are a living example of what can be achieved. God Bless You!”

"Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It’s the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They’re not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth." ~ Byron Katie
